\nSubject: Update to Health Services<\/p>\n

Dear Students:<\/p>\n

As of Monday, March 2, 2026 and through Tuesday, May 12, 2026, Ramapo College will offer free<\/b>, telehealth services to all students via Bergen New Bridge Medical Center. Appointments will be available Monday through Sunday (7 days per week) from 10:00am to 6:00pm. Many medical concerns can be addressed via telehealth such as cold, flu, sore throat, cough or sinus symptoms. Please see a list of medical reasons to book a telehealth appointment below under RESOURCES. Students can access telehealth by calling Bergen New Bridge Medical Center directly at 201-967-4233 or 551-276-0317 <\/b>and using their computer, tablet, or smart phone to join the appointment. Please be prepared to share your Ramapo student identification card with the medical provider.<\/p>\n

If an in-person appointment is needed, the closest Bergen New Bridge Medical Center clinic is CareRightNow <\/span>on 250 River Road, New Milford, NJ (outside of the ShopRite). Another in-person, local option is CitiMD in Ramsey and it is accessible using the Ramapo Roadrunner Express Shuttle. We have increased the number of shuttle stops per day. Shuttle pickup is in front of the Bradley Center and the vehicle is ADA accessible. The updated shuttle schedule is found here<\/span>.<\/p>\n

While the College is covering the cost of telehealth appointments through Bergen New Bridge Medical Center, if you choose to see an in-person medical provider you will be responsible for the cost. Please remember to bring your insurance card.<\/p>\n

Emergencies should always be directed to 911 or Public Safety at 201-684-6666. Please see a list of medical reasons to see in-person, emergency care below under RESOURCES.<\/p>\n

We extend thanks to our very own EMS staff and students who have contributed to our Health Services operations in recent weeks.The last day for an EMS presence is Friday, February 27th. In addition, we are grateful for Bergen New Bridge Medical Center\u2019s agile partnership in helping us meet this moment.<\/p>\n

We look forward to the future growth of Health Services through the delivery of services via Valley MedicalGroup in May. If you have any questions about the above mentioned services, please contact HealthServices at 201-684-7536.<\/p>\n

Sincerely,<\/p>\n
